Where the land narrows

One side of Bencik belongs to Datça and the other to Marmaris. On this narrow section, the Gulf of Gökova to the north and Hisarönü to the south lead to different cruising routes. Check which coast your boat follows.

A stop by boat

If Bencik appears in a programme, ask if it means a sail past, an anchorage or time ashore. For an overnight trip, find out how a change of anchorage might affect the next day.

Boat tour operators

Compare the departure ports and routes. Ask the operator whether the bay you want to visit is on the itinerary for your date.
